"It's going to be the future soon for denizens of Tyria, as ArenaNet reveals an August 28 release date for the eagerly anticipated massively multiplayer free-to-play role-playing game Guild Wars 2."

Finally! Good beta weekends, had a lot of fun, can't wait to jump into the world and not have to worry about it wrapping up on Sunday night.

    Finally! The beta weekends have been great, and have me wanting more. It's even earlier than I thought it would be, too, I expected late September at the earliest. So happy! (yes, I have no life)

    Sadly this does not work on a Mac.

    Hope Crossover get it working as soon as possible.

    So what's PvP like? Can I avoid it completely if I want to?

    Yep. You never have to PvP for anything as far as I know.

    Hm, very tempting. I just hate the idea of buying yet another MMO that I give up after a month.

    Don't get me wrong, I've been in that boat, but the game is absolutely gorgeous. I can't say the storyline is great, to me it's child-geared, very simple and a bit cliched, The Secret World does story much better, but I could wander around Guild Wars 2's game world for months just for the scenery alone.

    Also, you pay your box price and there is no sub so you can revisit whenever you choose. But hopefully a free trial of some sort will be available shortly after launch for those who don't want to risk buying sight unseen. Having been burned as badly as I have on MMOs over the years, I don't blame anyone for waiting and seeing!

    you can't quest with a friend. i really REALLY didn't like that.
    you can do your class q with a friend but not the 'heart' ones. =[ totally disappointing.

    Sure you can. All you have to do is be in the same area. You're now doing hearts and dynamic events with everyone around you. If your friend is there, you two are questing together. It's actually my favorite part of the pve portion, since it also means I can run up and help someone kill something, we both get credit, they don't die, and they don't get mad at me for helping.

    I actually like the persistent world, we still have our own party and look out for one another but for killing a big boss, I love the team effort but I also love not having to be in a party to get anything done.

    a friend and i tried. we were grouped, doing the same heart quest, and not getting credit for each others kills or clicks or anything.

    The problems I have with GW are:

    1. GW2 - This does not work on a Mac, so I have to wait until Crossover get it working before I can try it.

    2. GW1 - I have an ID although I have not played for ages. The problem is that they have introduced a new security measure where you have to enter the name of one of your character before you can even use the Forum. The trouble is that I can't remember any of my character names - so I can't login. I can't even request Support - as I can't login. I have all of the GW1 modules but I can't use any of them.

    To get your account info for GW1 call Anet support and give them as much info as you can remember. (512) 225-6359 I think it's from 12-5 CST, Mon-Fri...not exactly sure though.

    I've had to use it at least 3 times in the past because I'd not login for quite some time and totally forget everything.
